You know what Rob, thoses plastic ports screwed to the doors aft look
cheap as dirt. If I were you I'd find some nice small chrome ports and
replace them.

Are your runway lights red? are they LED? are they that cheap **** rope
light?

Now that is art on art!

The interior design is art and the photograph is yet another work of art!

A magnificent blend of light, color, shapes, function and design!

Quite possibly the greatest interior sailboat picture ever taken.

Who could possible think that photographing art would make it more artful?

Obviously the photographer is a person of unusual talent.

Did you take that picture RB?

When can I get an autographed copy of your coffee table sailboat book?

Those ports are glass and held in place aluminum fittings that match
the rest of the interior. They are well done, but purely cosmetic. I'll
take a close up pic for you.

Yellow/amber LED's. One at the steps, 3 on the floor. More useful than
I expected.

When this guy is at the helm I watch, ask questions and learn.

Humility - the mark of a true sailor! It is no small wonder your life is so
well lived!

Looks like a tiny cockpit. And, yet again, no PFDs.

Oh OK from the other pic it looks like thick plexi with 3 screws

And and if you sail at night the best to go below to take a wizz and
not totally blow your night vision, I would switch to red.

Thats a good thing, what did you ask, and what did you learn?

For a while i worked as first mate for a Capt who was in the Navy
Reserve with the rank of Captain. All he did was train officers how to
handle ships. I got to go with him to Norfork and un-offically attend
his course (you had to be Navy to attend and get credit). Way back then
they had mini ships, that acted, and re-acted just like full scale
ships, I think it was a 1/20th scale. It was a blast.

The same school is going but it's all computers.

Mostly about trim and how he got the boat to accelerate so quickly
after a tack or jybe. It appears that I typically oversteer when
gybing...a bad habit. We also had a long discussion about the cut of
the jib...for cruising and daysailing over racing.

I wish gay Ganzy would just go sailing and not worry so much about the
length of my cock-pit. As for PFD's, if Ganzy always wears them then
he's 100% gay.
No kids on board of course.
